Wrapping Up: Week In Review

In this blog series, we report on the production progress and other news of The Expanse each week. We collect the latest social media and press activity from the show’s production team, cast, and the community. We hope this series is useful for those who are not able to closely monitor social media but who want an easy way to catch up on all the latest Expanse updates each week.

To catch up on the previous week of updates, check out our last post here.

Production

Production for The Expanse is winding down now, with some members of the cast and the writers reporting that they’ve wrapped for Season 4.

Following on from the wrap party last week, Redditor /u/thegroovologist posted some highlights from cast and crew social media. Check out the fun clip if you want to catch up on the festivities.

The production office and Jeremy Benning both shared footage of a large blue-screen set used for one of the final episodes. Benning takes us through the cameras and lenses used in the show.

Breck Eisner, the frequently recurring director of the show, poses an interesting “what if”, wondering what would happen if Ashford and Miller met. While that is not going to happen, both will return for Season 4!

The new official Amazon account, @ExpanseOnPrime, posted a new promo for Seasons 1-3 in anticipation of the Prime Video release next week. Be sure to follow them for more official updates if you aren’t already!

Cast

While their work on Season 4 of The Expanse is nearly complete, we continue to follow the cast of the show as they move onto other projects and pursue their careers further.

Dominique Tipper, who plays Naomi Nagata in the show, is seeing continued success with her debut as a director. Her film, Trying To Find Me, has been selected for Oxford Film Fest, its 5th festival selection to date. Congratulations Dominique!

Tipper was also interviewed by the blog Bitches Be Witches this week. Be sure to head over and read some of her reflections on playing powerful women and her career so far.

Red Rover, a film starring Cara Gee and Anna Hopkins (Camina Drummer and Monica Stuart on The Expanse, respectively), has been selected for the Kingston Canadian Film Festival.

Media

Gamesradar ranked The Expanse at #5 on their list of Best Shows on Amazon Prime Video. We couldn’t agree more and we can’t wait until we can watch Season 3 on Prime Video!

Community

The community has been gearing up the hype train for the release of Seasons 1-3 on Prime Video next week using the hashtag #WatchTheExpanse on Twitter. If you were looking to get some friends into the show, there’s no better time than now. Be sure to tweet with the tag and help get it trending!
